Ryu did not think it was going to be a problem at first, but now he realized this was a major issue. Ryu had no choice but to ask for the new recruits to give a helping hand with the recruitment drive. Anytime someone new joined, Ryu had them help out in order to make up the numbers for the mass of people they were recruiting. Within the first three hours of game time, they had already recruited 150 people.

"Ryu!" Chi logged back in and saw the mass of people running around and looked quite surprised.

"Did you find out how to become a sect?" Ryu asked. He was really not having an easy time with the influx of people they had.

"It's like this, it says we need to become a clan first and have over 500 members, but it doesn't say how!" Chi had searched high and low on the internet only to come across a small thread that was answered by a dev from the game company on the Soul Fusion Online forums. In the thread, it was stated that although it was announced that only guilds and sects could be created, there was actually an in between to this. Guilds could only have 200 members max, while sects could have 500 plus members. He said in order to even build a sect, you need to first become a clan. Only by becoming a clan will you be able to surpass the 200 member limit of a guild and work your way towards 500 members. But this was all the dev said. How to actually form a clan was not explained.

Ryu thought for a moment as he fell into deep thought. "Chi, can you handle things here? I will head to the nearest major city. If we hit 200 members, pause the recruitment and wait to hear from me on what to do next. "

"Okay, be careful!" Chi hugged Ryu and kissed his lips. "Remember, you still have a bounty on you."

Ryu smiled and rubbed his nose against Chi's. "Mmm.. Don't worry."

After giving Chi a kiss goodbye, Ryu left the guild residence. But he did not leave Roland Village right away, instead, he stopped at the mercenaries guild.

[The Mercenary Guild has just placed a new bounty out on player: Gene. All mercenaries take up arms and help fulfill this bounty! 100 gold for each kill! Up to 10,000 kills! Get your kill in to secure that 100 gold before it is too late.]

A few minutes earlier….

As for Gene, he was sitting in a back alley talking with a few higher level players. "Name your price! I will pay whatever you want in order to kill that bastard! Kill him until he is level 0!"

The two men looked at each other and then back at the level 0 man standing in front of them and let out a laugh. "Are you an idiot!? Do you even know how powerful that man is!? I have watched him fight 20 people at the same time and not receive a single hit! You want us to try to kill someone who is basically a god right now?"

"You! I am paying you money. What do you care? Just catch the bastard off guard! " Gene yelled out. He didn't understand why these guys were now willing to take up the job! He was easily paying a few hundred gold. Seeing how he was unable to get these guys to do the job, he was getting ready to walk away in anger and head towards the mercenary guild. But before he could even do that, a world announcement filled everyone's ears. Before he knew it, he was grabbed from behind and dragged off by the two men. "You!"

"Haha! Don't mind us. It's just that the price is just right! Hahaha! By the way, you must be really new to the game. Do you think we would ever take up a bounty on Ryu? He's our guild leader now! Hahaha!"

Gene's face paled. He was about to be killed over ten thousand times! He tried to break free from the two men's grasp, but he just couldn't do it! They dragged him off towards the respawn point, where they held him down and stabbed him in the face!

Ryu leisurely walked out of town with his hands in his pockets as if he had not done anything big. "Now, then off to the biggest city in the area. Westfall City!" Westfall city was about a week of travel in game time if one were to walk normally. For Ryu, this travel time was only two days ingame time with his movement technique.

He did not even get far before Chi sent him a message over guild chat. "Ryu, we maxed out. For the time being, I told everyone we are pausing recruitment for a few days in game time. And that once we figured out how to break past the guild member limit, we will continue recruitment."

"Alright. I should be in Westfall city soon. I will buy a guild house there as well, so we have the place as a teleport point." Ryu answered, not pausing even for a second as he continued to move as fast as he could.

"Alright, good luck. For now, I am organizing the new guild members. As far as I can tell, after making the announcement in the short pause on recruiting, the players who came all the way to Roland seem to be camping outside our guild house." Chi had seen many players begin to build fires and even build tents right outside the gates of their guild house. There were even people putting up small shops to sell their items.

"That's good. It will give us time to try to figure this all out. Sorry for putting all the extra work on your shoulders, Chi." Ryu did feel bad he was supposed to be the leader, but Chi was carrying all the extra burden now because of this.

"It's fine. We are a team, so it is normal for me to help you out. Ahh! A fight just broke out. Ryu, I have to go handle this, message me when you figure out what is going on."
